Replace Equipment

A machine with a book value of $$25,000$ has an estimated remaining life of $5$ years. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for $$18,800$ and replace it with a new machine at a cost of $$40,000.$ The new machine has a $5-$ year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from $$17,500$ to $$9,000$

a$.$ Prepare a differential analysis dated June $2$ on whether to continue with the old machine $($Alternative $1)$ or replace the old machine $($Alternative $2).$ If an amount is zero, enter $"0".$ If required, use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
